  • Patent number: 11705853
    Abstract: A solar powered charging station uses photovoltaic panels to generate electrical energy for use directly and/or for storage in electrical batteries for use during night operation. The station includes parallel electrical circuits which permit the station to operate during daylight hours in the event of a failure of the battery or the battery charging system. The station is adapted to use stabilizing ballast which can be collected locally at the site of the station. The parallel circuitry is adaptable for use with other forms of electrical power generation having a minimal carbon footprint.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2022
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: SkyHook Solar Corp.
